Census Lookup Request - Please help me to save time by reading this entire section before making a request.
When making a request provide basic facts if known starting with Full given & surname middle initial if known, date of birth, birthplace, spouse full given & surname, middle initial if known, children full given & surname, middle initial if known, when and where born. If you know dates and places this family lived, please provide approximate year(s), city/town, county and state.
Also, if you have already found your ancestor or family in another census year not requesting a lookup for, please provide census year, city/town, county if known and state. I prefer to search from most current date known for an individual or family and search backwards. Reason being is that sometimes an 1900 census image may hold a clue to finding the family in earlier years i.e. 1880, 1870, 1860, etc., provided they lived here in the USA those years.
The following is a sample using my ancestors.
Ggf: George Begnal, b. 15 Feb 1879, Albany, NY, d. 2 Jun 1957, Saratoga Springs,
Saratoga Co. NY, m. Mary Elizabeth O'Shaughnessy, about 1902, b. 6 Sep 1888,
Utica, Oneida Co., NY, d. 8 Jan 1949, San Francisco, San Francisco Co., CA.
Children: Clifford Franklin Begnal, b. 31 Mar 1903, Utica, Oneida Co., NY, d.
15 Mar 1960, So. San Francisco, San Mateo County, CA.
Then your request before or after your family info, I would like a census lookup
for the census year of, city/town, county, state. i.e. 1910, San Francisco, San
Francisco Co. CA.
Additional information that is helpful if known is occupation of the head of household,
if immigrated approximate year, parents birthplaces, children if different from
parents. Death dates are also helpful, so I know what year NOT to look for
that individual. Sometimes I find a hit by oldest child being indexed,
then viewing the image see one or both parents or siblings.
FYI - census are inaccurate, do not expect age(s), name (given or surname), place of birth to be accurate for many reasons. Before making a request I ask that you click on the year below of request, to see the search fields available and provide as much information if known for each field. The information varies from year to year, one census year may ask for a specific age, while another may ask estimated year born plus or minus 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 years.
1790 - 1800 - 1810 - 1820 - 1830 - 1840 - 1850 - 1860 - 1870 - 1880 - 1890 - 1900 - 1910 - 1920 - 1930

Passenger/Immigration List Lookup - Please help me to save time by reading this entire section before making a request.
Please provide basic facts if known starting with Full given & surname middle initial if known, date of birth, birthplace, spouse full given & surname, middle initial if known, children full given & surname, middle initial if known, when and where born. FYI - not all emigrates immigrated directly to the United States, some may have first gone to another country first then to the USA. Passenger records may be indexed from the secondary country. Also given and surnames maybe different
Approximate date they may have emigrated/immigrated, country of origin, if known port of departure and port of arrival. Sometimes I have to locate the family in a census such as 1900, 1910 or 1920 if applicable which contain immigration/naturalization information. FYI - passenger lists are inaccurate, do not expect age(s), name (given or surname), place of birth to be accurate for many reasons.
The following is a sample using my ancestors.
